And to make it even faster

       double x = bulletSpeed;
       double a = -3.508129323E-5;
       double b = 2.460363294E-3;
       double c = -6.666318894E-2;
       double d = 8.545020365E-1;
       double e = -3.337830707;
       double angle = a * x * x * x * x + b * x * x * x + c * x * x + d * x + e;
       return Math.sin(angle) / (bulletSpeed / 8 - Math.cos(angle));

btw, you can try newton's method to find the max value ;)

I know. But calculated numbers weren't exact and Wolfram Alpha's computation time exceeds.

Precision is up to 9 numbers. I think that it is enough.

Sorry, I didn't see that you changed the code. In my robot I did it like that but it is more understandable with Math.pow(x, y).

Math.pow makes me think something like e^x, but it turned out to be polynomial.

Wow, I had no idea that the escape angle could be 15% bigger than traditional MEA calculation at the most common bulletspeed of 1.9 . . . Seems like my list of things to do for GresSuffurd to become top-10 again, gets bigger and bigger.
